– 45 by Martin W. Bowman |
|
Description:
This
book which is put together from eye-witness anecdotes,
stories, letters, diary entries, photographs, poems and
cartoons tells the personal story of airmen from the US
8th air force who were stationed in the south of England
during WWII when they were carrying out round the clock
bombing of occupied Europe. The stories which are in short
extracts tell of the glory and grief of battle and of
the social times spent off duty. It is a warts and all
tale of some brave US airmen and of the local people who
took them to their hearts.
